This is what medicinal cannabis law is intended. Casual use of cannabis is still illegal. ''Laws The possession, cultivation, sale, and use of cannabis was criminalised by the Cannabis Act 2477 BE (1935)[8] and again by the Narcotics Act 2522 BE (1979).[9] In 2018, Thailand became the first Asian nation to legalize medical cannabis.[10][11] Although medicinal cannabis was decriminalised, consumption, in particular smoking or vaping in public places is still subject to punishment under the Public Health Act 2535 BE (1992) as a public nuisance infraction and can lead to a 25,000 Baht fine.[12][13][14] Cannabis dispensaries were available as early as April 2022.[15] On 9 June 2022, cannabis extracts containing less than 0.2% THC, referred to as industrial hemp, was decriminalised. Medicinal cannabis, with no THC restrictions, was made legal in 2018 but required patients to obtain a prescription from a medical practitioner. Recreational cannabis, often referred to as marijuana, is still illegal according to Thai law.[citation needed] Cannabis extracts and cannabis products (including edibles, food supplements, cosmetics, etc.) containing more than 0.2% THC by dry weight are still categorised as a Category 5 narcotic''
